Hey there, Yup I'm another newbie - I come from the V8 racing side of things.....don't hold it against me. I just bought this and am keen to change it. For starters i'm keen to change the colour of the wheels and the rear end. I want to keep the pillion for the missus. I'm also new to brisbane and am looking for a great mechanic!

Thanks,
Buggyboy!

Hey, another car can

I had one on my ZX9, it was a bit heavy but dyno'd it to just shy of 140 horses at the rear ;)

As for a decent bike wrench, try Darcy at Bike Performance (Enoggera). He's good - and reasonably priced.

thanks guys - the missus would love a bike but she's 5"0 so a scooter is all she could get! i work at the Triple 8 team.... been here 6 months and loving it....if your a lowndesy/whincup fan let me know!

PS if you see or hear of any rear parts for the new toy let me know.

Hey Buggyboy, the misses and I have been big Lowndes fans for years, I live in Benalla and rarely miss the Winton round of the V8's. Let me know when your down this way next and we'll catch up for a beer.

As far as the rearend goes keep an eye on Ebay, there's quite often tail sections on there.

Hey Buggyboy, welcome, yep Ebay or wreckers are the go.
cheers Rod

Yea, welcome aboard mate. Yet another candidate for the Brissy AFR run.

[buggyboy3]

Thanks for your help - I'm a keen ebayer. What should I look for when it comes to tails for these things? Other suzukis? or other brands and adapt them to it?

I rarely go to Winton but PM arount the time and I might be heading down!

I go to all the V8 rounds up here (Indy & paperclip) and been through the Albion workshop a couple of years ago. Lucky bugger!!

Try this mob, they seem to have a fair range. Just remember that anything will fit, it just depends on the amount of mucking around you want to do.

Have a look at your bike then have a look at tail ends you think will work for the look ya after. Trust me I'm still learning myself, I have a GSXR Tail which I'm going to fit to my Ninja and I'm going to visit the professionals tomorrow "Hi Ben"
Cheers Rod

Can I see some photos of your bike? Does anyone have photos of a GSRX750 1989 with different tails?

Gees mate! That's an open ender! That's one of the most popular Streetfighter bikes out there.

Check in here for some influence and also take a look at how different people have mounted them:

There's a lot of German styled bikes in there but one of my fav slabbie conversions was Dodge's from the UK, although his was an 1100, but the principle is the same:
